This bill is called the Expedited Removal Expansion Act of 2025. It changes section 235(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill removes certain exceptions and lets the Secretary of Homeland Security apply the expedited removal rules to any person who is inadmissible under paragraph (6) or (7) of section 212(a). The Secretary may use that authority without limitation, may change it at any time, and the bill says that decision is unreviewable. The bill also replaces references to the "Attorney General" with the "Secretary of Homeland Security" in several places, changes one evidentiary phrase from "a significant possibility" to "clear and convincing evidence," and strikes one subparagraph (F) while renumbering others.
If you are a noncitizen encountered for admission, the bill would allow the Department of Homeland Security to apply expedited removal more broadly to people found inadmissible under the two named paragraphs of section 212(a). The Secretary would have sole, unreviewable discretion to decide when and how those expedited removal rules apply and could change that decision at any time. The bill also shifts certain legal authority from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security and raises a written evidentiary phrase to "clear and convincing evidence."
